Pressure continues to pile on Ange Postecoglou after Nottingham Forest were beaten 2-0 by Newcastle on Sunday.
Postecoglou replaced Nuno Espirito Santo on 9 September following the Portugueuse's controversial dismissal but is still yet to win his first game
Since he was appointed, Forest have lost five and drawn two in all competitions - with the latest loss coming at St James' Park as a result of strikes from Bruno Guimaraes and Nick Woltemade in the second half.
The Australian was subjected to chants of "You're getting sacked in the morning" by his own supporters in Thursday's 3-2 Europa League defeat in FC Midtjylland, leading to Postecoglou responding in his post-match interview.

Multiple outlets, including the Daily Mail, said that Postecoglou's future was hanging in the balance going into the crucial trip to the North East.
It was stated that Forest would decide during the international break if they would persist with Postecoglou should they again fail to win.
Forest' winless run continued and now Evangelos Marinakis, a man who sacked Carlos Corberan after 11 games at Olympiacos, has a decision to make.

Postecoglou was asked about his future in a pre-match press conference, stating that he is not worried about speculation - revealing he was well aware he was losing his job at Spurs three months before he got the boot.
"I get it, it's a valid assumption in modern football there's always a manager under pressure, that's part and parcel of what we do," Postecoglou said.
"I don't think that way. I knew I was getting sacked at Tottenham three or four months before I did. It didn't stop me winning something. It doesn't enter my head. If I start worrying about what's going to happen next week, I'm not performing the role I've been given."

Forest's last win came on the first game of the season when they beat Brentford under former boss Nuno.
After the international break, Forest face a tricky run of fixtures which sees them take on Chelsea, Porto in the Europa League before taking on high-flying Bournemouth on 26 October.
